Food for Health & Growing
The intelligent control system that manages appetite, fat storage and overall health depends on nutrients and soil-based microbes found in genuinely fresh, biologically active food. Understanding how food works — and how to grow it — is the foundation of long-term...
Breed Beneficial Gut Microbes at Home
Our intelligent control system depends on living microbes that originate in healthy soil. By learning how to breed and maintain these beneficial microbes at home, anyone — even in an apartment — can restore the gut biology that regulates appetite, immunity and...
Gbiota Technology: Gut–Brain Food and Eco-Balance
Our intelligent control system relies on the biology of living soil — the microbes, minerals and ecosystem cycles that humans evolved alongside. When modern food breaks this relationship, health declines, but Gbiota methods restore the natural gut–soil connection our...
The Essence of Life and Our Intelligent Control System
Our bodies are regulated by an intelligent control system that evolved over millions of years. This system manages appetite, fat storage, immunity, energy, and long-term health — but it only functions properly when we feed it the biology and nutrients it expects from...
The Wicking – Gbiota Bed Story
For the past twenty years I have been working to change how we grow and think about food. I pioneered Wicking beds, gave them their name, and watched them spread around the world — often with technical misinformation that I now hope to correct. I am writing a book...
Health Starts in the Soil Part 3
The trillions of cells in our guts do more than digest food. They form part of an intelligent control system that manages how our bodies store fat. We need to store fat; this is natural. But if the control system is not working correctly, fat is stored in the wrong...
The Gbiota Project: Rebalancing Diet, Soil, and Gut Biology
The Gbiota project shares practical knowledge on growing “refurbishment food” that supports gut biology and long-term health. The core idea is simple: modern diets are high in energy (sugar, fats, fast carbs) but low in minerals, phytonutrients, fibre, and living...
Bed Depths for Wicking Beds
Many people have asked about the depths of the beds. The rules are pretty simple. The reservoir zone should always be less than the maximum wicking height of water in that medium. If you make it deeper then the water will never be pulled out of the bed and you will be...
How to Replenish Your Gut Microbes
The microbes in our gut are critical for our health but in an effort to feed the ever increasing population and avoid infectious diseases we have adopted a food system which no longer breeds the beneficial microbes we need. But we can modify the traditional way we...
